Busy Baby Bee

This weekend was really a crazy one!  Hubby's cousin was here on Saturday and my Uncle was here on Sunday.  Each day was a big "family day affair" and we had tons of fun.  Still, I was a little bit sad that I wasn't able to stitch at all over the weekend.

I knew that my stitching would lack over the weekend, so I left work a few minutes early on Friday afternoon and stopped by my LQS on the way home.  Lo and behold, this cute little Moda fabric came home with me.

As soon as I walked in my front door I dropped everything and went straight to the cutting/sewing table (aka the dining room table).  I broke the Go! Baby free from the boxed constraints and got to work.  In a couple of hours I had these babies all ready to go......

Then I set up the sewing machine with color coordinating threads and viola.......

Rag Squares!
I still have quite a few more squares to make before I can work on the layout, but I can honestly say that I'm having fun.  I can see how much easier it is to work with the Go! Baby for this type of project.  I can only imagine how tired my hands would get while trying to fray all of the layers of fabric and fleece.

I hope to devote my time to stitching this week, so I will be putting this on the back burner until the weekend rolls around again.  I can assure you that I will be taking some time out of the sun this upcoming weekend.  I don't want to deal with this again:

I never burn while beaching it, but I got so burnt on Saturday that even the tops of my feet hurt!
Have a great week!  Happy Stitches!

Oh girl, that hurts just looking at it....LOL that's why I haven't been out in the sun in years. I always burned growing up.

Your new cut outs look so pretty! I love Moda fabric. It's like.....a serotonin rush to go in the quilt store. ;)
